  • Liposuction vs Lipodissolve

    The usual queries are around which treatment is better than the other and why. The obvious answer to this seems that since Lipodissolve is a newer and more advanced technique, it will be better but in actuality, there is no clear better between these two.
    This blog deals with some of the comparisons made between Liposuction and Lipodissolve while making the choice,

    The Surgical/Non-Surgical question
    Liposuction is a surgical procedure which requires anesthesia while Lipodissolve is a non-surgical 30 minute procedure.
    The non-surgical procedure that Lipodissolve is reduces the overall post procedure downtime as well as the maintenance that would be required afterwards.

    How does the functionality differ for the treatments?
    For Liposuction, diluted local anesthesia is infused before making an incision. Post this, a thin hollow tube or cannula is inserted through the incision to loosen up the excess fat by controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then sucked out of the body using vacuum.
    Lipodissolve on the other hand involves injecting a specially curated formula at the fat spots to dissolve the cellulite which comes out of the body through the natural excretory processes.

    What about Post Procedure fat gain?
    If someone gains weight after Lipodissolve, it will deposit at the initial places only unlike Liposuction where the deposition can take place even at those areas where there was no fat initially

    Any side effects?
    No significant side effects have been recorded till date for both the procedures. However, the look one gets after using either of the procedure varies.
    While Liposuction leaves loose skin after fat removal, Lipodissolve gives a more natural appearance after the fat reduction

    The downtime
    The average downtime for Liposuction is about three weeks. While usual activities can be resumed after seven to ten days, strenuous activities are advised to be undertaken after three weeks only.
    For Lipodissolve, the procedure lasts for 30 minutes after which you are good to go!

    Hope this helped and if considering any, you would be able to select a procedure better!

    Cheers!

  • Body Odour Prevention: The Gharelu Nuskhe

    So, if you have been facing body odour issues off late, it is time you do something about it. Just sticking to the regular deodorants or perfumes may not be the solution to your concerns.

    PS: There are proven medical treatments for body odour prevention and at Kosmoderma, we prefer opting for them only. But, we know that everyone wants to try out few harmless and natural DIYs before opting for a long last treatment and hence here are the top 3 treatments that we have still found effective over time.

    Rosemary Solution
    Rosemary is a natural antibacterial agent which also contains menthol and zinc. The inherent antibacterial properties inhibit the bacterial growth while menthol helps in neutralising the body odour. The additional zinc content in it which when seeps into the skin may reduce the body odour in the first place as zinc deficiency has been known to cause body odour in several individuals.

    Following are the ways in which Rosemary can be utilised for body odour treatment:

    • Add one and half cup of dried rosemary leaves to four cups of hot water. Leave the water-leaves mix stand still for 10-15 minutes. Soak up the leaves well and then use cotton to pat this solution onto your skin (special attention to the odour points). Alternatively, you can also mix this solution in your bathing water and soak up your body in this for 15 to 20 minutes. Once done, pat your skin dry.
    • Another way is to prepare a natural deodorant by mixing about 8 ml rosemary essential oil in 22 ml of water and using it as and when required.

    Sage Herb
    The herb is known to reduce sweat gland activity and is an antibacterial agent which reduces bacterial growth and hence inhibits body odour. It can be used to effect in the following ways.

    • For internal systemic cleansing, soak one tbsp of dried sage in a cup of hot water for about 10 minutes. Strain the leaves and drink. This drink should not be taken more than twice daily
    • Mix about 2 ml each of sage essential oil, coriander essential oil, lavender essential oil and about 40 ml of distilled witch hazel. Mix them well and use the resultant solution as a deodorant daily.

    Note: Pregnant ladies or Nursing mothers should not use sage

    Apple Cider Vinegar
    In addition to being an antibacterial agent, apple cider vinegar helps in maintaining the natural body pH too. The usage can be done in the following ways:

    • Gently apply apple cider vinegar on your underarms for about 2-3 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. Repeat this process twice daily- once in morning and second before going to bed at night. Ideally, the improvement in your situation should be visible within 20-25 days.
    • Make a concoction of apple cider vinegar and honey in warm water. Drink this mix before your meals i.e. thrice a day. This will internally cleanse your system thus reducing the body odour issues.

    Hope these would help.

  • Fit at Fifty!

    We will first read about the physical routine and then will go to the star attraction of the blog- How to cheat your hormones into helping you lose weight.

    So yeah, about the fitness routine:

    1. Get on to the weight training routine, even if you don’t want to hit the gym, do it at home but do it. The logic is simple- your muscle mass has reduced, hence your metabolism has slowed down and you need to build those muscles back to get the things on track. You can start with donkey kicks, standing hip extensions and side lying leg raises and then graduate to glute bridges and crunches
    2. Considering that your joints would have also started weakening, try doing exercises in water, Get the best spin bike for home workout as it helps you burn calories and doesnt impact your joints. The result would be 30% faster and with lesser strain applied. In case you don’t have access to a pool, well turn back to point one above
    3. And well, you should visit your physician first before embarking on your fitness regime. At an age so tender, even a tiny bit of injury can spell disaster and so it is best to keep your enthusiasm in check

    This was a pretty short one because it is always better to focus on the stars and so here we go but before that let us introduce you to our friend Ghrelin here. Ghrelin dear people is the hormone responsible for that hungry feeling that you have! It is more of a survival hormone which spikes up due to lifestyle related changes such as delayed or skipped meals, irregular sleep, excessive exercise, avoiding carbs and fats or the simple act of losing weight.

    To keep Mr. Ghrelin in check and hence lose weight, here is what needs to be done:

    1. Eat your breakfast within an hour of waking up.
    2. Check on your average waking hours and divide them by four. The number you get is the number of meals you need in a day.
    3. Carbohydrates and protein mix is a must you should remember and include in every diet be it a meal or snack. Thus, you will have the right things to curb those cravings, control your hunger and hence lose weight while gaining energy and stimulating fitness on the go. Just for your information: Protein increases metabolism while carbohydrates lower ghrelin thus helping in decreasing cravings (PS: contrary to the common belief that carbs cause one to fatten up and hence their intake should be minimum, studies have proved that a definitive amount of carbohydrates in the diet help in weight loss)
    4. Follow the 70/30 rule, which means that 70 percent of the calories should be taken before the dinnertime and remaining 30 percent at dinner. Also, make sure that your dinner is at least 90 minutes before your sleeping time giving your system enough time to digest.
    5. Stay hydrated- drink well and drink fine. As cliched as it maybe, drinking water seems to be the solution to most of the problems

    So, dear people, that was it! That was your way to be fit and not fat irrespective of what milestones of your age you are touching.

    Happy Living!

  • The Feet’s Monologue

    Anyway, we think that maybe we only should tell you what we want. Please take a note of that. And if you pay no heed to it, be ready for some serious foot related issues with fungus, skin cracks, bad smells, infections and what not.

    So here is what you need to do for us:

    • Soak us in warm water (not hot) for about 15 to 20 minutes. And instead of using Epsom salts which make us dry like anything, go for a mild body wash. You can also have a tbsp full of table salt in lukewarm water & we would enjoy the spa like treatment to our muscles. We would prefer this care regimen at least once a week and twice a week would be more than enough
    • When you finally decide to scrape that hard dead skin off, do not abrade us with anything you find. Use a good quality pumice stone and you can use it say once a week also because we love that gentle rubbing
    • When out of the bath, we appreciate being softly cuddled to dryness with a soft towel. Especially between the fingers because any moisture left there will spell problem.
    • Now, comes the moisturizing and please, unless your podiatrist has specifically mentioned, avoid putting anything between the fingers. It doesn’t dry easily and when you wear your shoes or socks above that- the same smelly fungal trouble is there again.
    • Now for the shoe part- can you please have 2 or 3 favorites for the week? Please, it is not so good wearing the same thing over and over again. And we say this because first, we need to shift shapes from tight fits to heels to flats and whatnots. And this is important for our muscles plus it will also make you look like someone who knows the vogue! A particularly shaped shoe every day & the pressure on certain points becomes constant which can result in muscular or bone issues later.
    • Also, we know that we can force our way out and make the shoe adjust to your command, but please understand that this unnecessary pressure of uncomfortable shoes does a lot of harm to us. That pressure that gets built up leads to excessive pain and even you know it!

    Lastly, please understand that we are your part too! We have a lot of responsibility on ourselves, we have to carry you around. Treat us well. Because once we get into trouble, it usually lasts long and almost makes you immobile, or a public embarrassment. You wouldn’t want that!

  • Bikini Line Issues? Here’s how to groom the Bikini Area.

    What is the Bikini Line?

    The bikini line is the area of hair-bearing skin at the upper and outer edges of the pubic region, near the inner thighs. For many, this area is sensitive, which is why grooming requires care and attention. Knowing about the bikini line helps you select a grooming method that is safe, effective, and suited to this sensitive area.

    Why do people groom the bikini line?

    People choose to groom the bikini line for various reasons:

    • Hygiene – Removing excess hair can help maintain cleanliness.
    • Comfort – Grooming can reduce irritation caused by friction.
    • Confidence – A groomed bikini line often makes people feel more confident in swimwear and intimate settings.

    While the reasons vary, the goal is usually to feel comfortable and maintain personal hygiene.

    Let’s first look at the challenges that one may face with shaving, waxing and/or using a depilatory method for removing bikini area hair removal.

    Ingrown Hair

    When you find yourself in this situation in which the stuff you’re trying to REMOVE creates even more issues, try 1% hydrocortisone cream. Apply a small amount of cream right after you shave to the irritated area and continue to use it twice a day for a few days, if needed. Try to avoid shaving over areas of irritation or open areas on the skin.

    Avoid the problem entirely by practicing exfoliating in this area. You might not think it’s necessary because it’s not your face, but it may keep your hair growing in the right direction

    Razor Burn

    As if shaving didn’t seem dangerous enough, a rash or “burn” from the blade is another issue. Razor burn, irritation, and ingrown hairs can actually all be caused by using a low quality or dull razor and bad shaving habits like pressing too hard and going over the same area multiple times.

    Razor burns can be prevented by putting a few steps into place in your showering routine. First, you’re going to need to get a razor that creates a close shave. Then try standing under warm water, allowing the water to saturate this area, for about three minutes. This will make the hair softer and easier to cut.

    Finally, use a shave gel for this area. Its an important step in your shaving process, as it allows your razor to glide more easily over your skin and lessen the chance of razor burns.

    If you already have razor burn, reach for a topical antibiotic and a mild steroid lotion to help with inflammation.

    Pigmentation

    Uneven patches of pigmented skin on your bikini line have a few potential causes. This can include repeated rubbing of a certain area, like tight-fitting clothes or rubbing of thighs due to overweight, prolonged irritation and inflammation, and pushing too hard with a razor while shaving. Talk to a dermatologist, who may prescribe a skin pigmentation treatment, such as a lightening cream, if it doesn’t go away.

    Yeast/Fungal Infections

    It’s not as common as, say, razor burn, but it’s still something you should be mindful of in the season of sweat and humidity. In the summer, sometimes people get irritation and yeast/fungal infections in skin folds from moist skin, and rubbing only makes shaving or waxing in this area uncomfortable. Make sure to change out of wet clothes right after working out and use anti-fungal powder to avoid this problem.

    You may try this home remedy.

    Cucumber juice has skin-lightening properties. The vitamin A in cucumbers helps reduce skin darkness by controlling your skin’s production of melanin. Plus, the high water content helps keep the skin hydrated and glowing.

    Extract the juice from ½ of a cucumber and apply it all over your bikini area. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse it off with cool water. Repeat twice daily for quick results.

    Alternatively, mix 2 tablespoons of cucumber juice with ½ tablespoon each of lemon juice and turmeric powder. Apply it to your dark pubic area. Keep it on the skin for 10 minutes, then rinse it off with cool water. Repeat once daily.

    How to Remove Bikini Hair: Safe & Effective Methods

    There are different ways to manage bikini hair. The best way to remove bikini hair depends on personal preference and skin sensitivity. Some options include:

    • Shaving – Quick and easy, but may cause razor bumps or ingrown hairs.
    • Waxing – Provides longer-lasting results, though it can be painful for sensitive skin.
    • Hair Removal Creams – Gentle formulas designed for intimate areas can work, but always patch-test first.
    • Laser Hair Reduction – A long-term solution that targets hair at the root, leaving smoother skin with minimal regrowth.

    When deciding how to remove bikini hair, choose a method that suits your skin type and tolerance. For lasting results and reduced irritation, professional treatments are often recommended.

    Unwanted Hair in Bikini – Laser Hair Reduction is the answer.

  • Do not Pause @ Menopause

    Only one word comes to mind when we talk about Hot flashes, Weight gain, Forgetfulness, Irritability … ‘Menopause’!

    During menopause, estrogen decreases. This affects your menstrual cycle, sexual arousal, appetite, mood swings and also the skin & hair. Women seldom talk about changes in skin & hair during menopause as these are the least of their concerns at that time. But the problem is, if you don’t pay immediate attention, these concerns will last forever.

    Going through menopause can be an emotional experience. You struggle to get comfortable not only with what’s going on within you, but with the outside too. Be kind and gentle to yourself and remember that what you are experiencing is unique to you and nobody can totally understand what’s going on.

    Following tips may help you better understand what you can do about the changes on your skin & hair that come with menopause.

    Your Skin During Menopause
    No matter what you do, you will age. How gracefully you age makes all the difference. As we age, the skin will naturally show an impact, but menopause can accelerate that process and create new issues you may have never had to deal with before.

    Dryness / Dullness
    Estrogen partially controls the growth & maintenance of blood capillaries under your skin’s surface to bring oxygen and nutrients to the top that help strengthen the barrier function of the skin. During menopause, blood flow to the skin is often reduced, contributing to increased water loss through the dermal layer. This leads to: chapped, flaky, scaly dry skin.

    What can be done? Avoid long, steamy showers and use a facial moisturizer or oil with hydrating ingredients, such as Shea butter, coconut or jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid.

    Oily Skin
    Due to increased levels of testosterone, the sebaceous glands in the skin secrete thicker sebum, causing an oilier appearance and in some cases leading to acne.

    What can be done? Try a gentle cleanser, avoid over-washing and consider applying a clay mask to especially oily areas.

    Acne
    If you experienced acne during teenage, you’re likely to have a recurrence during menopause. This is because of the imbalance of estrogen and testosterone. Breakouts are common on the chin and neck.

    What can be done? Look for cleansers and spot treatments containing either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic acid helps unclog pores and keep them clear where as benzoyl peroxide helps dry up excess oil.

    Facial Hair
    The imbalance in the level between androgen and estrogen can lead to excessive hair growth called hirsutism. You may notice unwanted hair especially on face,chin and neck area.

    What can be done? Tweezing, waxing, threading can help you get rid of unwanted facial hair. Other hair removal techniques like laser hair reduction may get rid of unwanted hair.

    Wrinkles and loose skin:
    Collagen and elastin that help keep your skin firm, smooth and plump, naturally diminish with age. However, during menopause, decreasing estrogen levels can speed up the aging process and thereby sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles.

    What can be done? Try at night, derivatives of vitamin A that can trigger new collagen production and gradually help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

    Sun Damage
    Estrogen regulates the maintenance of melanocytes in the skin. As menopause progresses, your natural protection from UVA and UVB rays degenerate, making skin more prone to sun damage.

    What can be done? By now, you might be applying your sunscreen regularly, but during menopause, go for a higher SPF e.g. SPF 50 filters up to 98 percent of the sun’s rays

    Your Hair During Menopause
    Menopause can change the texture and thickness of your hair in a dramatic manner.

    Here’s what may happen and what you can do to minimize symptoms:

    Thinning and Hairloss
    Most women experience thinning and hair loss during menopause as estrogen and progesterone production declines.

    What can be done? Use gentle products and avoid using heated tools. Try oil massage to increase blood circulation.

    Dry Scalp
    As your skin loses moisture due to hormonal shift, your scalp and hair may also become dry and brittle.

    What can be done? If you have dandruff, use a shampoo that contains zinc or selenium. For dry & brittle hair, try a deep conditioner to soften locks, and limit the amount of heat styling you do. Put dryers and curling and straightening irons aside for the time being.

    Your skin and hair may look their best during menopause with just a few lifestyle changes:

    Quit smoking.
    Smoking reduces estrogen levels in a woman’s body. It also contributes to fine lines and wrinkles, especially around lips & eyes. Now is the best time to say goodbye to smoking. This will not only will benefit your looks but also your overall health.

    Manage stress.
    Stress can lower your body’s levels of estrogen contributing to the hormonal imbalance that causes these skin and hair issues. Change your environment to reduce stress, relax when you’re under pressure, and cope when there’s nothing you can do about the situation.

    Watch your diet.
    Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water. Eat healthy fats in foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids . A healthy diet will help boost your skin’s protective barrier, preventing dehydration.

    Of course, see a professional doctor if any of the changes you’re experiencing are extreme.

  • GETTING RID OF CELLULITE EFFECTIVELY AND QUICKLY

    Heredity, skin thickness, gender, the amount and distribution of body fat, and age can all influence the extent to which cellulite is present or visible.

    While cellulite is more common in women than men, men can also be affected. Having cellulite doesn’t mean you are overweight. Even thin people can have it.

    Here are a few of the best tips on how to get rid of cellulite quickly and simply:

    Diet
    • Drink more water- Hydrating your body keeps your skin cells looking fresh and renewed, which can reduce the appearance of cellulite. More water will help your body shed toxins and fat, so cellulite all over your body will be reduced.
    • Eat fruits and vegetables – A diet filled with healthy fruits and vegetables will help you keep your weight down and also keep you hydrated, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
    • Eat healthy fats – Foods like olives, nuts, avocados, fish and olive oil contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin. Avoid saturated fats and trans fats as much as possible. In particular, avoid “junk food” like greasy fast food, potato chips, etc
    Exercise
    • Take a few extra minutes each day to stand up and walk around. If you plan to walk off the excess cellulite on your thighs, try to walk 45 to 60 minutes each evening.
    • Cardiovascular exercise improves circulation, allowing you to burn off more fat overall.
    • Exercises that can help build muscles in your thighs can help tone your legs and minimize the appearance of fat that gathers there. Weight training tones the muscles under your skin and causes it to look more taut.
    Skincare Regimen
    • Dry brushing of the skin- this improves your circulation and helps your skin get rid of toxins, reducing the appearance of cellulite. It stimulates skin cell rejuvenation and helps improve lymphatic flow.
    • Improve the skin tone – The easiest short-term way to improve the appearance of cellulite is with a lotion or a cream, containing caffeine, which has a temporary tightening effect and help bumps look smoother, because of their known ability to break down fat stores. Creams with a vitamin A derivative, which over time can thicken the outer layer of the skin and make lumps less visible are also helpful.
    Professional Treatment
    • The FDA has cleared the use of lasers and radio-frequency (RF) devices, both of which use massage and suction which stimulate collagen production and break up the fibrous bands under the skin. These treatments also add heat energy to help melt fat under the skin and shrink fat cells. The treatments are relatively painless.
    • Mesotherapy – It involves injecting drugs or other substances directly into the affected tissue, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes. Mesotherapy may break down fat and bring a slight improvement in the appearance of cellulite.
    • Liposuction – It may help you lose weight, but it can actually worsen the appearance of the skin by making the tissue under the skin more uneven.

  • Medical Estheticians Bridge the gap between Beauty & Medicine

    People often think that an estheticians duties only include performing routine facials, extractions and microdermabrasion. But in a dermatologist’s clinic, medical estheticians may assist in research & clinical studies, design medifacial treatments for maintenance, may work with the doctor by cleansing or preparing the patient for an advanced peel, or may take on the role of a laser technician under the supervision of a medical personnel. They can also manage the retail centre, educate patients, perform pre & post-operative treatments, assist in treatment plans, and provide routine skin care services.

    In a medical spa setup, estheticians weave together spa services & surgical procedures under doctor’s guidance. For example, in one visit, a patient could receive a facial, a body treatment, a collagen injection to fill in wrinkles or make lips fuller and a consultation with a doctor. This is not possible without medical estheticians around.

    Having a good esthetician gives you an edge in taking good care of your skin on a regular basis. Once you consult your dermatologist, your esthetician is the one who can point you in the right direction, keep track of changes, and provide professional treatments such as proper extractions, exfoliation and nourishment which you can’t do by yourself.

    When you go for maintenance to a medical esthetician, he/she can tell if the skin needs extra attention. They can read your skin. For instance, break-outs on your cheeks are usually caused by a different set of issues than break-outs on your chin. Under-eye circles vary, and can be either genetic or attributed to a host of digestive/stress issues. Pre-mature aging is the same. It is much easier for an aesthetician to figure out the skin issues since they keep track of your every visit.

    Due to her thorough knowledge, an esthetician can help ensure that your beauty investments are the best for your skin. You could buy 10 products looking for the right one, or pay a little bit more, get good advice, and buy one that works for you.

    Medical estheticians are not beauticians. They are way ahead in training, skills, knowledge & professionalism than beauticians. Since they are much more approachable, you can see an esthetician on a regular basis for skin maintenance & skin care for a healthy & radiant looking skin.

  • Don’t Stretch it for too Long

    Upto 90% of women develop stretch marks in their seventh to ninth month of pregnancy. It is quite difficult to completely prevent stretch marks from appearing, however, make sure that you gain weight slowly and steadily, and keep your skin well hydrated with repeated application of a rich, moisturizing cream that keeps away any itching associated with the stretch marks.

    Speak to your dermatologists who can recommend a combination of micro needling and fractional laser treatments to help fade those marks away. The earlier the stretch mark is treated, generally the better the result. Red immature stretch marks are more amenable to treatment than those that have matured to a silvery white.

    Home Remedy: Aloe Vera
    Aloe Vera is one of the most well known remedies for stretch marks. Aloe Vera leaves secrete a clear gel when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied to heal wounds and it also contains plant collagen which immensely helps repair the skin. Collagen is one of the most important proteins that make our skin elastic, supple and youthful. Collagen is really beneficial to the skin as they help to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, reverse age of skin, tighter skin, plump up skin and also improve the elasticity of skin.
    Remove the outer layer of the aloe vera leaf and bring out the sticky gel from the inside of the leaf.Then use the gel on stretch marks and wash off with water after two or three hours.

    Vitamin E
    Massaging the skin with a lotion or oil that contains Vitamin E will help improve the outward appearance of the skin. Vitamin E is one of the top ingredients now proving to be highly effective at preventing the stretch marks associated with pregnancy or weight gain. This is due to the vitamin’s ability to help your body regenerate new and stronger skin cells at the deepest level.
    You can help provide additional Vitamin E to your body by including certain foods in your diet.Almonds, nuts, sunflower seeds, whole grains, legumes, cold pressed vegetable oils and many fruits contain high levels of this vitamin.
